Kit Harington Loves That His Kids Will Be Able To See How Their Parents Met

With celebrity breakups being prominent over the past couple of years, it’s refreshing to see couples who are so in love, they can’t stop talking about each other.

First it was Tom and Giovanna Fletcher (that wedding speech, sigh), then came Chrissy Teigen and John Legend (couple goals), and now Kit Harington and Rose Leslie are kicking off 2019 in the most adorable way possible.

Because Kit – aka Jon Snow in the mega-successful fantasy series Game of Thrones – is already looking to the future, after tying the knot with co-star Rose last summer.

In an interview with GQ Australia, the actor revealed he looked on Game of Thrones as an amazing way for the couple’s potential future children to see how their parents met.

He said:

It dawned on me, recently. And I have no idea if we will, but say me and Rose do have children. They’ll know.

They’ll be able to see the genesis of their parents getting together. Which is quite a wonderful thought, really.

I’m too emotional for this. He then went on to talk fondly about his wife, musing how he wouldn’t have met her if it wasn’t for the show.

He continued:

I thank the show for everything. But more than anything else, I thank it for introducing me to her.

The couple married in June at Rose’s childhood home, Wardhill Castle, where 80 members of their closest family and friends – including co-stars Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage – gathered for the celebration.

Rose and Kit met in 2011 while working on the second season of Game of Thrones – they played enemies-turned-lovers, Jon Snow and Ygritte, and they’re believed to have started dating soon after.

There were rumours the pair had separated, but they proved false when the couple got engaged in September 2017.
